Best 939 Cooler

At £45 for a new cooler you have to wonder whether it might be worth moving up the proccessor tree a little (just installed my 4400 btw)

Since all the good HSF's need the motherboard to be replaced, I am thinking of strapping a 120mm fan on the current heatsink... that is the best way to do that?

I'd go down the new cooler route definitely, I swapped the Freezer's stock fan for a Sharkoon Silent Eagle 2000 a day or 2 ago and even though it pushes a shed load of air, it only dropped load temps by a measly 2-3 degrees

I won't be able to get it much faster without going to watercooling or changing the socket type, which would mean motherboard and everything

It is unlikely that I will be able to get that over 2.7Ghz... the only factor that is limiting my Opteron 165 reaching 3.0Ghz is heat.

Opteron 165s are known to be excellent overclockers, unlike the Opteron 180. In short, my 165 will probably be able to go faster than the 180!

Hi,

This looks like great information. Where does it come from?

Cheers,

I am also looking for a really good cooler for the Opteron 165, what would you recommend?

I was looking at the ThermalTake V1 or the Scythe Ninja Plus.
